I have received information from forum member Mark Johnson on some interesting textile events in the Los Angeles area in this coming August (2003). Mark is working with the Malaysian Tourist Board, Textile Museum Associates of Southern California, Sarawak Atelier Society, and his own group, Asian & Tribal Art-Los Angeles, to promote the events. Mark says: "The Malaysian Tourist Board is bringing over some Iban Dayak textile and mat weavers, accompanied by a sape player (a local lute or guitar). Edric Ong, a very well known expert and author on Iban textiles will be doing some lectures at various points in the schedule."

Mission San Juan Capistrano, S.J.C., California.
World Weaving 2003, International Fiber Arts Festival and Marketplace.
Borneo textile and mat weaving demonstration with talk with Edric Ong. Along with other lectures, textile, and fiber arts exhibitions, including older tribal textiles. Contact: www.missionsjc.com/weavingexpo.html or (949) 234-1300 #321 for details. (I will be showing at this exhibition, as well).
